Media Job Search Canada – Job Hunting for Canadians

Tips for Finding a Freelancing Job Through Media Job Search Canada

Sometimes it seems like the all the work at home opportunities are only available for Americans. The reason for this usually stems from the fact it’s easier for American based companies to figure out their taxes when they hire American freelance contractors.

A Great Solution for Canadians

Just because you live in Canada, you shouldn’t assume that you’ll never find any work at home opportunities. They are out there, you just have to know where to look. One of the first places you should look is Media Job Search Canada. It’s a job search website that often has telecommuting and freelance opportunities posted.

Read Each Post Carefully

When you’re looking through the posts on Media Job Search Canada and looking for jobs you can do in your own home, you need to read each ad very carefully. Make sure that it really is a telecommuting job. (You might want to look over my post, International Resources for Work at Home to see even more options.)

Do Your Homework

When you find a couple of postings that you think sound interesting, you shouldn’t simply turn in your application. You need to spend some time checking out the business. While Media Job Search Canada does a really good job of weeding out most of the shady businesses, some still manage to slip through the firewalls. Check and make sure that the company really does exist and see if you can find any reviews that have been posted by freelance contractors who have worked for the company in the past. Not only do you want to make sure that the company has a long history, but you also want to make sure it pays on time, has a significant amount of work available, and that they have good communication skills.

Don’t Pay Any Money

If the company you’re considering working for insists that all freelance contractors pay a fee before they can start working, you need to walk away and look for other ways you can earn money while working at home. Your working for them, there’s no reason you should be paying to do so.

Ask Questions

Don’t be afraid to put the company that posted an ad on Media Job Search Canada on the spot. You can ask lots and lots of questions. The list of things you need to ask, includes; • How regular the work will be • Do they offer bonuses or increases in pay for top quality work? • Exactly what kind of work will you be doing? • How frequently will you get paid? • How are payments handled? • Are up required to work a minimal number of hours each week
